Hello, I just installed v1.73 of Transmission and I'm on Mac OSX v10.5.7. Basically, any torrent I open fails to connect to any tracker and doesn't download. So I tried your port forwarding guide but even after setting up the router, any chosen port remains closed. This is the first time I ever encountered this problem because I've had closed ports in the past that still allowed me to download files. This is what the message log shows....

I numbered each line just to make explaining a little easier. Thanks for any help.
Update: Using a Belkin Wireless G Plus MIMO Router (F5D9230-4) and I don't think NAT-PMP is enabled
